1366. Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb: When 'Abdullāh bin Ubāi bin Salūl died, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was requested to offer his funeral prayer. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up to offer the prayer. I got up quickly and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Are you going to offer prayer for Ibn Ubāi and he said so-and-so on such and such occasions?" And started mentioning all that he had said. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ smiled and said, "O 'Umar! Leave me." When I talked too much he said, "I have been given the choice and I have chosen (to offer the prayer). Had I known that he would be forgiven by asking for Allāh's Forgiveness for more than seventy times, surely I would have done so." ('Umar added): Allāh's Messenger ﷺ offered his funeral prayer and returned and after a short while the two Verses of Sūrat Barā (At-Tauba) were revealed: "And never (O Muḥammad ﷺ) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies... (to the end of the Verse) while they were Fāsiqun (rebellious...) V.9:84. ('Umar added), "Later I was astonished at my daring before Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on that day. And Allāh and His Messenger know better."

1366 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ، دُعِيَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَثَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُصَلِّي عَلَى ابْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَقَدْ قَالَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا: كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ أُعَدِّدُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: «أَخِّرْ عَنِّي يَا عُمَرُ» فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: «إِنِّي خُيِّرْتُ فَاخْتَرْتُ، لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنْ زِدْتُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ لَزِدْتُ عَلَيْهَا» قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَلَمْ يَمْكُثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا، حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الآيَتَانِ مِنْ بَرَاءَةٌ: {وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا} [التوبة: 84] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ} [التوبة: 84] قَالَ: فَعَجِبْتُ بَعْدُ مِنْ جُرْأَتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
